Notifications, Calendar + Widgets on Summary Screen

EventR Team can send a notification when an activity is about to start. The schedule for this lives under Account-> Settings->Notifications.

To control a particular Itinerary's notifications, go to the itinerary on the Home Tab and open the Summary screen and select "Notification, Calendar & Widgets".

Turn notifications on per itinerary. Once on, you can narrow what triggers a notification:

  • section (flights, stays, transport, activities, parking, hire cars): toggle each on or off
  • category: your org's categories, but only the ones actually used in that itinerary show up
  • public items: whether items set to public visibility should appear, even if you aren't attached

EventR Team needs OS-level permission to send notifications. If that permission's been denied, the Settings page shows an inline prompt linking straight to your device's notification settings.
